You know, you put this in a perspective I hadn't considered.  If somebody like me outside of Omega range is worried they won't be accepted by Speedy owners, doesn't that make me guilty of the same bias?  Shouldn't I love my purchase for exactly what it is?  If I believe in it, shouldn't I expect others to join me?  

At the end of the day, the Speedy Pro isn't a legendary watch inherently, it happened to be part of a story.  The movement and design aren't special or functional, it was just one of a small sample of watches that happened to pass an arbitrary test that nobody bothered even preparing for, nothing like the Comex trials.  And anyone pretending their brand new Speedy has anything in common with the original, even a 321... it doesn't.  In fact it's better.  But it's the story.  These new watches allow others in on the same story, and that should be satisfaction in itself.  Any modern Speedy is supposed to remind us of the time we went to the moon.  These do as well, and more than that reference our future as a spacefaring race.  That's even more than I could ask for from a Speedy Pro, and more than Omega itself is qualified to offer.  Screw it, they should want to join MY cool club of "plastic" watch fanatics!

MoonSwatch Saturday makes me feel things... happy things.  Outstanding idea!

I have NEVER wanted a watch more.  I'm serious.  For somebody like me where Omega is very much an aspiration, this is just pure class.  It's everything they're about, celebrating the history while not giving in to pure exclusivity.  Even on that note, I'm sure they'll eventually be available online en mass for us all, since it's quite a bummer for them to be location limited.  When Nick Hayek says he wants something to be accessible and fun for everybody, he means it.  I really doubt this will turn into just another investment opportunity for privileged collectors.

Aw shucks, thanks for noticing!  Just back after a hiatus, death in the family.  Really happy to see the platform still growing and to learn from some new people!

The truth is never a cliché, and I know you mean it truthfully.  Thank you.  It's been so comforting to realize I get to spend the rest of my life side by side with my brother.  In a way we're closer now than we've ever been!

What a gorgeous Waltham, amazing that it's brought comfort to two generations!  As a kid myself in spirit and age, I empathize.  My own dad was the first to give me a watch, of course a Timex with Indiglo.  Something about Timex, they're always proof that a watch can be a special thing without being a superfluous thing; that the value of being on time has worth all to itself.  The lessons we learn in the most unexpected ways... 

That makes me smile.  We're a strange breed of people, those of us enthralled by this hobby, that you found a way to show your love to your father and siblings in a way that was so permanent and authentic to yourself I'm sure means everything.  I'm so glad your brother was such a present part of your life, not all are as lucky as we have been.
